Healing reduced by 30% in pvp. WHY!?

It goes both ways ... healers being solo fountains of health is ok, because pugs should coordinate to down them. I used to give mvp to healers ... but not anymore and I see others do the same. PvP is about killing, PvE about surviving.

As for the 1:1:4 ratio ... it is not enforced. You get wz with 2-3 healers from time to time and it's basically 15 minutes of swimming against current kind of thing. Not to mention if one side has healer and other doesn't it's huge advantage that with otherwise equal teams will win you the games.

tl;dr It's impossible to balance in pugs which is ok if you are into premades, but sucx otherwise.

Because otherwise, healers would be too strong. This is probably the dumbest question I've seen since release. The avg. intelligence level of the players in this forum is astonishing but this one takes the prize.

Yeah because its not like with Guard, Taunt, Guardian leap and Challenge and the odd CC trown around you could reduce the damage a healer is taking by enough to make him unkillable with the 30% debuff, now imagine without.

Just because your tank sucks doesn't mean that other healers should become godlike because of it...

why thought ? the ratio is changeable ofc, but my point is i have NEVER seen a wz with more total healers than total DPS, ever, or even close to. so the -incoming- damage will always outweight the -healing available-, by varying degrees , without needing the healing artificially reducing. its just crass :/

pugs are shambolic, as a rule.. and will always be a bit hit and miss
set groups shouldnt be, and should be able to assist, etc.
so in both counts, why is it needed ?

i still havent seen a sensible answer

You don't need equap number of healers and dps to destroy dynamic of pvp in warzone. 3 is completelly enough. And I have definitelly seen 3 healers in warzones. And this number is only going to increase as more ppl get to max level and realize that healing is the safe way of farming commendations.

really ? funnily enough ive been seeing less and less recently, as people get fed up with it and respec to dps. im usually the only one , and im prob respecing at the end of the week as ive had enough aswell :\
